Kern shot Stefania, but he really shot the deputy

Richard Kern is a famous photographer of nudes, and Stefania, here, is the latest of them. He has a web show on Vice TV called “Shot By Kern” in which the public is graced with a glimpse into the master’s process.

I have a feeling that everyone who gets women naked on camera for the spectrum of pleasures available to Internet consumers feels a little like he’s getting away with something, but Kern even gets around this by employing an unseen interviewer to document Kern’s documentation.

The interviewer is forced to ask the questions that might make Kern fidget.

“What kind of guys do you like? How are you in the sack? Do you think I’m a creepy pervert to be asking these questions?” asks Kern’s Oliver North of Stefania, who thought it would be fun to be told what to do by a photograpoher.

“I don’t know,” she says, “do you feel like a pervert?”

The interviewer does not sound like a clutching and bloated mouth-breather; his questions are thoughtful and he asks the more personal ones apologetically, because he knows why everyone is looking at this woman and it’s not because of art.

But I like the “Shot By Kern” format because the burden is off Kern to legitimize himself.

Instead, Kern has his minion absorb all the distastefulness of photographing pale and zaftig hippy girls as if his fall guy were a sheet of porny fabric softener.

I need a minion to refer to me by my last name and ask the tough questions, like: “To the cocks you’ve already had in your ear, do you feel you’d be able to add Ponante’s?”

  1. I have to rub my eyes every time I come to your site. I can’t believe how you nail it on the head and do it so eloquently at the same time. I love Kern’s old video stuff with lung leg and lydia lunch a whole lot. He is really teetering on being an asshole in a lot of vbs videos.
